I think for the benefit concerts (which could be house concerts or club concerts), it might be easiest if we break into regions to do several of them - maybe call it a 'virtual road-trip' and execute them on the model of Brian's usual road trip showcases (we could tape all the performances too and send the video to him as a pick me up). We could charge an admission, pass the hat, raffle something - you get the idea.

I'm up for organizing a Massachusetts/Northeast event. Anyone want to coordinate timing other concerts around the country/world so they're all on the same week? We might be able to gain some national press attention for him if we do this as a coordinated effort...and you never know how that could possibly send help.

Anyone want to help me with a New England event?

Any active chapter coordinators, chime on in and let's see what we can come up with.
